Rumwold of Buckingham was a medieval infant saint born in 662 near King's Sutton. According to hagiographical tradition, he lived for only three days after being born to a Northumbrian royal mother and a Mercian king. Despite his extremely brief life, he is remembered for his miraculous ability to speak immediately upon birth. He reportedly used his voice to declare his Christian faith, request the sacrament of baptism, and deliver a sermon before passing away.
